"Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses," the FDA said in a statement on their website.

The FDA said the potential risk was brought to McCormick’s attention by the FDA during routine testing and that the recall does not impact any other McCormick Ground, Whole or Oregano Leaves products.

No illnesses have been reported in connection with the finding.

The ground oregano was shipped to 41 states and 10 countries outside of the United States. The only states that did not receive the shipments, according to the release, were Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Nevada, New Mexico, Rhode Island and Wyoming.
